GS1net™ Certification Program

What is a GS1net Certified Solution?

GS1net Certified Products are available from GS1 Alliance Partners who have worked collaboratively with GS1 Australia to ensure their solutions meet a minimum set of criteria required to successfully implement GS1net.

Products that have been granted GS1net Certified status have proven that they have the capability to support:

The GS1net data set used by all engaged industry sectors. This GS1net data set will be comprised of the following types of attributes:
- GDD Core Attributes
- GDD Extensions
- Extended Attributes
- GDD Price Attributes
The data validation rules – All error and warning messages are supported
Uploading process into GS1net – that the solution is capable of uploading data to GS1net by either Delimited Data File (DDF) or XML messages.
All action codes supported (Add, Change, Correct, Replace and Price Changes)

GS1 Australia certifies a specific release version of the product against the current version of GS1net. Changes in product version releases or versions of GS1net might require re-certification.

What is not being certified?

Whilst the above areas are rigorously tested as part of the GS1net Certification Program, it is important to clarify what the Program does not cover the following:

The ability to support any other attribute from those currently used by Australian sectors
The ability to automate publication and other confirmation messages
The Alliance Partner company itself
Other solutions available from the Alliance Partner, other than those specified
The delivery of ongoing application support by the Alliance Partner
Certification of specific staff or individual consultants

Any other additional functionality (other than specific items noted above)
